More quotes by Anna Paquin
I get paid to do the thing I love most, and maybe that makes blending into the crowd impossible sometimes, but I wouldnt trade it for the world.
Anna Paquin
None of the characters I`ve played are really like me. That would be boring. It wouldn`t be acting.
Anna Paquin
I'm drawn to doing interesting stuff at work. And some of the time with the supernatural, you get to do really crazy, fun things. But I'm not a big genre-fantasy gal, particularly.
Anna Paquin
Well, the years from 10 to 20, when your body, mind and everything is like changing every five minutes, can be pretty torturing. And most of the interesting characters, I think, are somewhat tortured or torturous. I'm 20 now, so I'm only just an adult.
Anna Paquin
There are very few films or plays or anything about really happy people with perfect lives.
Anna Paquin
Everything about being a teenager and not feeling like you fit in is just magnified by being a mutant!
Anna Paquin
I'd really like to get to do some fighting, some martial arts training, because I think that would be really fun I do gymnastics and ballet, and I'm very, very into the physically acrobatic end of sport.
Anna Paquin
If I don't do laundry today, I'm gonna have to buy new clothes tomorrow.
Anna Paquin
One hate crime is committed approximately every hour of every day in this country.

People are incredibly literal sometimes in how they view you. You have dark hair and pale skin? You must be brooding. The second you dye your hair blond and get a spray tan, people treat you as if you're a bit stupider and happier.
Anna Paquin
You gain and lose different things in different mediums or different sectors of different mediums. There are liberties you get on tiny indie films in terms of not having to be designed toward a marketing demographic.
Anna Paquin
I was never overexposed and work never became a chore. I was a very good girl wanting to do a good job.
Anna Paquin
There are very few films or plays or anything about really happy people with perfect lives. Everyone is usually screwed up in some way and that is usually where the work comes in - figuring out how to make it believable and make it real to present someone.
Anna Paquin
I'm just living my life. I'm incredibly disciplined and I work incredibly hard. I show up for things on time, I do my homework, and I work my ass off. I've had a lot of luck, but I work really, really hard.
Anna Paquin
I have a really, really, really normal family. And by normal I mean we're all nuts on some level. I think you've gotta be a little nuts to pursue any kind of creative job. I was also a really good kid. I know that sounds really dull, but I didn't rebel in the traditional sense.
Anna Paquin
Maybe it should be weird, simulating sex with your husband in front of people. But it's really not. When its a love scene with someone you actually love it's no 'Can I touch him here, can I touch him there' You know what your boundaries are, or aren't I suppose.
Anna Paquin
Stubborn people get themselves in a lot of trouble, but they also get things done.
Anna Paquin
Acting is pretending to be someone else.
Anna Paquin
I just do what feels right. I think the great thing about getting to do what I do is that you can try out being a different person without having to screw up your life to do it.
Anna Paquin
We do ritualistic animal sacrifice. We host orgies on our trampoline, every other Sunday. You didn't get our Twitter feed on that? I'm really sorry! And then, every once in awhile, we run through the city and drain people and drink their blood. It's really very romantic.
